Cold Weather

It's not too bad here, so far... we have a bit of snow, and it's just a couple of degrees below freezing. But that's warmer than normal, so I'm sure it won't last.

I mind the cold really badly... my joints ache like mad, and my skin and hair get very dry in the winter, so I'm longing for spring already.

I was just reading this
UK freezes in South Pole weather Temperatures drop to -21

snowTemperatures in big-freeze Britain are on a par with the South Pole after the country suffered its coldest night of the winter so far.
The mercury sank to minus 21.6C in the Scottish Highlands early on Friday - close to the minus 22.9C currently at the southernmost part of the globe.
With bitterly cold temperatures everywhere else in the UK, there is more widespread disruption on the roads, trains and at airports, with thousands of schools also shut once again.
The remorseless cold has also created new havoc as dozens of big companies have had their gas rationed after domestic demand soared to record levels

:huh: Some kids in our college decided to go skating on the frozen lake during lunch..Idiots..

man i'm bummed out. when i woke up there wasn't any snow. not even any frost or ice. it bummed us out. and today is my mother's brithday and she was looking forward to it.

We had 22 centimetres of snow in Zagreb and I have my fingers crossed that it'll melt till I return there. Here at home there is no snow and temperatures are mild, a bit above 0 °C...

Bah..Two brothers died today in the lake I mentioned above - We assumed they were kids, but it turns out, they were both in their 30s and 40s..

I don't mean to disrespect the dead, but you'd expect grown men to have more sense. :huh: They 'went out to feed the ducks' as well..

There's a chance they might postpone the exams. :dry: I don't know whether I'd prefer that or not.
